This blog discusses the potential for integrating political and legal anthropology into various fields such as business, government, NGOs, advocacy, activism, development, journalism, and finance through the experience of three anthropologists. It highlights the diverse backgrounds of  those who often enter the discipline through practical experience in these areas and express a desire to influence real-world applications beyond academia. The post also explores the trend of anthropologists leaving academic roles to directly apply their expertise in other sectors, thereby impacting the world in varied and meaningful ways.
